Leading and Managing Kaizen Events

 

Kaizen Events 

Karen shares case studies for two Kaizen Events she has facilitated that address the following questions: 

• What was the driver for the improvement? 

• Why was a Kaizen Event chosen for making the improvement and not a traditional project? 

• Who was involved in the planning process and on the Kaizen team itself? 

• What was their process, from analysis through rolling out the improvement? 

• How were they able to pilot and refine the improvement within such a short time? 

• What challenges did the team encounter and how did they overcome them? 

• How did they manage their time? 

• How was the event closed out?
